Gambling Website Lists Miami Heat As No. 2 Destination For Joel Embiid Next Season

The Miami Heat are largely associated with starting NBA super teams once they teamed with Chris Bosh and LeBron James with Dwyane Wade in 2010.

They apparently have good odds for doing it again next season. According to the gambling website BetOnline.ag, the Heat have the second-best chance of landing Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid when this season ends.

The Heat's odds were 3-1, just below the New York Knicks (2-1). There is speculation Embiid could want out of Philadelphia if there is no progress on winning a championship this season. Last year he won the regular season MVP award but is rumored to be unhappy with the Sixers.

With the Heat expected to trade for Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard this offseason, the addition of Embiid would add to an already strong core of Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo.
